Gavin Newsome VETOES Law Giving UNEMPLOYMENT To Workers On Strike | The Left Wing
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday vetoed a bill that would have paid unemployment benefits to striking workers, and had drawn strong support from labor unions and from his fellow Democrats in the state legislature. In rejecting the bill, Newsom noted that the state's unemployment trust fund is already nearing $20 billion in debt. "Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt," he wrote in a message explaining his veto. The Democratic-majority legislature passed the bill in September amid several high-profile strikes. Hollywood writers ended their nearly five-month walkout 12 days later but Hollywood actors remain out on the picket lines. Southern California hotel workers are also on strike.
